Kegs are the best and most efficient means to store and serve beer. The one problem with kegs, of course, is knowing exactly how much beer remains in the kegs. One can lift the keg and judge how much beer remains based on estimated weight, but there is a new tool that makes the process much simpler and more accurate. It’s called Kegtron, a device that presently has an active Kickstarter campaign and is ready to help you better manage your kegs using a wireless phone.
Hook it Up
Kegtron works via a monitoring device that is placed inline, between the keg and the tap. The device has an internal flowmeter that constantly monitors the amount of beer dispensed. It then sends this information to the app, keeping you, the bar manager, brewery owner, or home kegerator user, continuously informed on keg usage.
The Kegtron keg monitor is a small, box- shaped device that installs in a matter of minutes. The device is designed to withstand the elements common to a keg environment, like humidity and moisture, and it remains out of sight. Just attached one Kegtron to each keg and you’re ready to go.
Eliminate Guesswork
The coolest part of Kegtron is the simplicity and accuracy of the app data. Just pull out your cell phone or tablet and you will have immediate access to such keg information as:
- Keg name
- Keg size
- Description
- Starting Volume
- Volume Served
- Percent of Volume Remaining
- Serving Size
- Serving Sizes Remaining
You, the Kegtron user, can select from pre- loaded keg and drink sizes or you can customize to fit specific, unique measurements.
Added Peace of Mind
Kegtron is a monitoring device that is long overdue. It checks each keg continuously, sending information on usage directly to your cell phone. There is no more need to worry about a keg going dry unexpectedly. With Kegtron, you have all the information you need, at your fingertips, to know when kegs are running low and in need of replacement.
Bar owners and brewery operators have quite a bit on their minds and do not need the added stress of surprise keg depletion. With Kegtron, these worries are a thing of the past and because Kegtron comes in many sizes, it can be used on your home kegerator as well as in a restaurant, brewery, or tavern. Check out the web site and Kickstarter campaign today, and gain greater control over beer inventory management with Kegtron.
